Alright, I did not forget about my goal to get firm, glowing skin on my legs! I just was on hiatus for awhile....results are in! Jergens Body Firming Glow lotion is awesome! It doesn't smell gross, it doesn't streak and it looks natural, while leaving my legs smooth. I recommend it highly!
Also, I will not be posting this week on the underarms, because while I've been faithful to the body scrub, I keep forgetting the lemon, which is a natural bleaching agent and thusly a big part of the regime! However, I accidentally, on purpose started in on my facial regime this week, as well and it's been going awesome. I've been thinking a lot about how even though I'm not freaked out about turning 30 next year, I don't want to start looking like I'm in my 30's (at least not yet). I wanted to get a jump-start on wrinkles, etc but have not been able to afford to really splurge on skin cream, cleanser supplies and then my awesome friend Kim, who sells Mary Kay, had an open house to which I went exploring, and she set me up! I walked out of there with an arsenal and didn't pay her a dime (I will, but I get to use the product now! So this is what my face regimen is now:
Morning:
Use the Skinfoliate electric brush with cleanser to scrub away oils, dirt, make-up, etc
Spray some freshening spray on a cotton ball and work onto face
Apply Hydrate cream
Apply eye cream
Night:
Follow same routine, adding a demo Micro kit (with three more tubes of scrub/lotion) and then twice a week, I add a mask to the nightly application (to be washed off before freshening).
It sounds like a lot, but it only takes fifteen minutes and my skin felt softer right away, the make-up comes right off and I think it's really going to help keep those wrinkles at bay!
Here's to skin care!

Underarm Charm
Okay, sorry I haven't written in a month and a half. I have been not even that busy; just enjoying not being busy...working on my new calendar for the grandparents, doing some kid crafts, knitting a pair of gloves, reading for book club, etc. And of course working out and trying to stay on track that way. Plus, the entire family had the flu this week so that slowed us down! But, I haven't forgotten about my body improvement; it just got waylaid for awhile. Still doing good on my feet and legs and now it's time for armpits. I have always had dark underarms so I was reading up on natural and easy ways to lighten them and I decided on rubbing lemon wedges sprinkled with turmeric on them, scrubbing them with a brown sugar/olive oil mixture to exfoliate and of course, moisturizing. I think I'll do this treatment every day for a week and then just cut out the lemon part to once a week. So here's the start....let's see how it looks in two weeks:
